Tigers are being killed all over the world. I believe that people should read this book to learn about this beautiful animal.
There are 36 species of cats. In my opinion tigers are the fearsest of them all. Tigers were once everywhere, ranges in southern and eastern Asia. They also are in habitats such as rain forest, mangroves, scrubs, thorn forest, tall grass areas, riverbanks, and temperate forest, in east Russia.
Siberian tigers are believed to be the largest of tigers. There are about 450 of them in habitats like deciduous forest. There were about 40,000 Bengal tigers that roamed India nearly a century ago. Now, only 4,000 remain mainly because of poaching. How could this happen to such a beautiful animal? It would be amazing to watch a tiger running gracefully through the African plains. But remember this, a tiger can turn into a killing machine in one blink. In ancient China tigers were considered regal and useful at sometimes. They were sometimes a link between human and spirit, and to bring spirits from the grave. In other times a tiger and a dragon in pieces of artwork, they would use a tiger and a dragon together representing two great forces of nature. A sketch of a roaring tiger means fury and fighting. In Taoism the tiger represents yin (evil). The dragon represents yang (good).
In our quickly changing society the endangered tiger reflects real and fictional qualities of life. There are many amazing things about tigers. Tigers might be dangerous but they have amazing grace, great power and mystery, and stealth. This gorgeous creature is endangered and so close to extinction. They might be close, but it's their strong feelings that give them the strength to go on. That's why the tiger is the real KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!
